BLOCKDATA was co-founded by Jonathan Knegtel, who previously served as CEO, alongside Lucas Schweiger as CDO, Niels Lucker as CMO, and Bob van Ratingen as CTO. The platform was built to map the blockchain ecosystem and give financial institutions, governments, and enterprises the data they need to evaluate blockchain use cases, companies, and projects. Its technology processes unstructured information about the blockchain space and combines adoption-focused content, objective data, project research, and specialized services into a single offering.
BLOCKDATA raised a €200k angel round from undisclosed investors in October 2018. Following its acquisition by CB Insights, the platform continued operating as a standalone product with its own team while also becoming available to CB Insights clients. The two organizations exchange data to enrich their respective datasets and reduce duplicate work.
